2026 Audi A6 First Drive | Gasping For Air Or A Breath Of New Life?

Rumors of the A6's (ICE) demise have been greatly exaggerated. It turns out that the electric only A6 isn't meant to be for 2026 and instead what is arriving at dealers has more power than the outgoing model and some pretty clever packaging. That cleverness is important because even though this turbchoarged engine packs more punch it's going to be the only one offered meaning no S6 or RS6 will be found. This could be a problem for some but if you don't mind having a little less power than the performance model you can still make the most of the many hp you get with the new "Sport Plus" package which includes lower/stiffer suspension, all wheel steering, and an interior that feels like it's built for the task. #audiusa #audi #audia6 #a6 #turbo #turbocharged #quattro #familysedan #performance #executive #dailydriver #awd #ledlights Here's why we don't talk about reliability much:    • The Problem With "Reliability" Scores Is G...   And resale value?
